As you keep pushing forward
You hold on to righteous self for self power sake
Prove you're not a coward - go on with decisions to make
In consequence of your creation gods are crying in dismay
Visions of the future - they will devour you
Reconciling with the past, what a shame
Watch the answers change for all questions you ever had
Comprehend, cogitate, realize it's going nowhere. Obliterate

The point of absolute prostration
A man stripped down to the very fear
And none of you shall reach out to him
Drowned in disease
Crowned with your fears
Paralyzing self-righteousness

All your loves gone in tears
So close yet so far so distant yet so near
The aesthetics gives you joy, sweetest of all decoy
You're barely human, more like a creature
You may defend what's left, you may pretend to live
Horrifying death you'll be facing
I've done everything you wanted
Like the ancient tragedy
You're not what you were meant to be
Means and ends are seen
"Learning means finding out what you may already know"

But before the curtains close
To awaken all the hopes again
Deus ex machina is descending from the top
The audience holds the breath, faintly rising from their seats
Eyes wide open, here comes their happy end
But wait... There's a halter on his neck
Ghastly pale going down with the ropes
Averting human's fall in the hangman's dream
